Howard’s Legacy likely to thrive in Tanners Wines Handicap Chase
Howard’s Legacy will be the one to watch out for in the Tanners Wines Handicap Chase at Ludlow in England on Wednesday, December 19, 2012. He does not have a lot of experience, but possesses the ability to surprise his opponents in the class-3 competition,
scheduled to kick off at 14:45 GMT.
He likes running on a rain affected ground, thus there is a solid chance for him to shine today, as the going has been described as soft by the organisers. He will be hoping that the conditions do not change much throughout the day.
However, he should not get carried away, as there are some highly talented stallions lined up for action in the race. They will all be looking to make a strong impression in order to make their respective teams proud.
Things will be testing for everyone, as the overall distance to cover will be 3 miles. Although, running under normal circumstances is not a big problem, the situation is entirely different today.
Therefore, some of the runners might even pull out of the competition because of the intensity and chances of sustaining an injury. However, they will miss out an opportunity of bagging a cash prize of £9,495 in the end.
Moonlight Drive has managed to get the attention of the bookmakers, despite the fact that he has never managed to succeed in a race over fences. His overall performances are not bad though and it will be a clever idea to risk some money on him.
However, the young challenger from Ireland will not like the rain affected ground at Ludlow and that will allow his opponents to pressurise him. He will have to display his best skills in order to walk away with a victory today.
The Jonjo O'Neill’s trainee has appeared in just one chase event, where he finished as a runner up. He will be eying to go one step further in order to open his account in this format.
On the other hand, Howard’s Legacy has been successful in one chase race before, so his confidence level will be better compared to his rivals. He is likely to repeat a similar show once again under jockey, Aidan Coleman.
